So I got this book for my creative writing class next school quarter titled "The 3 A.M. Epiphany". It not only has taught me how to spell "epiphany" but it has started me writing again. It is full of unusual writing exercises that actually make me think about how I write. I'm attempting to do one of them a day, just to see what I can do with them.

I'm on day three, but I decided these snippets of writing just might be interesting to post somewhere, so here I am, posting them up on the Internet for the whole world to see.

The first two exercises sounded incredibly complicated to me, but I've found that to my surprise and delight, once I started in on them, it came easily to me. Perhaps I'm a better writer than I give myself credit for...

Also, after doing one of these exercises, I'm much more in the mood to write, so perhaps I'll get some actual writing done as well. I can't wait for my creative writing class to actually start!

This post has ended. You can stop reading now.

About Me

As I writer, I go by many names, many of them false. Even the name I go by on a daily basis is not my real name. That name, however, is Ella. I currently do educational type things at my local community college and spend an absurd amount of time on homework every day. I also work part time as a bookkeeper and tax intern at an accounting firm. I recently married a cowboy and am living the dream with him. In my spare time, I steal other authors' characters and settings and write different stories with them, then call it fanfiction and get away with the theft. My genre of choice is fantasy, both to read and write, but my writing is more mainstream fiction than anything. Writing keeps me sane by making me a tad crazy, so just stay with me if something a bit odd happens and we'll get along fine.
